Same goes with animation. When I first heard the phrase.. story was king. I was a little bit bummed because then it seems the story department did everything to make an amazing pixar movie.
But after reading more of Drawn to life, I realized animators have to remember it too, and embrace the story.
The reason why we have to embrace it is because everything we do has to relate to a story going on. you can break rules, cheat etc on things just to get the story across.
Each pose we do (story poses mainly) needs to relate to whats going on in the story. It needs to show what type of character they are, need to show the mood they are in, and it needs to show the action. Everything in the animation needs to have a reason.
Even if it is as simple as tying a shoe. Tying the shoe might mean something in the story, it might help develop the characters own story. For example, a character is tying his/her shoe because she wants to go out and play with her friends. This might seem very dull, but it can mean a lot. It can show that this character is behind her friends, thus making her feel left out if they all get in the car and left her. It can also show that she might need a lot of time to tie a shoe, thus showing her young age and not being able to tie her shoe. (Gah bad explaination, but I just really needed to type that all out lol)
